The Read: SD Book Awards winners

"The Angry Woman Suite" by Lee Fullbright, a mystery about an unsolved celebrity double murder from the early 1900s, won the Geisel Award, the top prize, at the 19th annual San Diego Book Awards.

Other winners included T. Greenwood, in general fiction, for "Grace"; Richard Lederer, general non-fiction, for "Amazing Words"; Ingrid Croce, best cookbook ("Photographs and Memories") and best biography ("I've Got a Name"); and Arthur Salm, best children's book, "Anyway." The contest is unusual in that it also recognizes unpublished words. The prize for best unpublished novel went to Anne Marie Welsh for "Still Born."
